What a lovely setting.
What a wonderful hideaway as a base for 2 Brits abroad to explore the Rocky Mountain National Park! We have loved every aspect, from the cosy cabin, the humming birds on the back porch, being lulled to sleep by the beautiful river to the delicious gluten free muffins from the bakery, made specially! Thank you so much! Cath and Stephen

So relaxing!
Our stay was wonderful! The room was spacious with all the comforts of home! It was very relaxing listening to the river and watching the hummingbirds!
Having a pastry/spice shop next door was an added bonus! The pastries were delicious!

Loved It!
The Swiftcurrent Lodge exceeded my expectations. It's a perfect place to stay for a Rocky Mountain hiking trip. The river running in the back, the perfect size cottages, bbq and outdoor dining set-up, the location so close to the park entrance. All of it. Amazing. Loved it.

What a beautiful stay along the river. The cottage was comfortable, the kitchen equipped with everything we needed, and the location is perfect for exploring the park and town. The bakery next door is not to be missed!
Exceeded expectations. We had Cabin 10 right on the river. Enjoyed the hot tub and mornings outside with iur coffee and pastries freshly made next door. This location is excellent. Staff was awesome. Highly recommend.
We have stayed 3 times. The first and Third trips were difficult as they were upstairs units with 60 degree stair incline 16 stairs. The second trip was a cabin experience which was wonderful.
My recent knee surgery made us check out of upstairs room. Just to painful. We stayed 7 nights of the 8 night stay.and forfeited Last day . The facility needs private handicapped parking. We also did not have River access or barbecue pit access. The balcony chairs were beach level chairs. Expensive stay with no amenities.

Right on the river
This place is absolutely perfect. You cannot get a better river view in your back yard! The cabin was super clean and had everything you might ever need.

Warm & cozy
The weather didn't cooperate which of course was not the property's fault. The bed was not very comfortable for me, a bit too firm, so it was tough for me to sleep well. Other than that, it was a great place with good people. We had an amazing trip and this beautiful property was warm & cozy.
Absolutely beautiful!! Peaceful, quiet, such an easy transaction. Good location. Love the hummingbirds too! Would stay again!

Beautiful
Very beautiful view of the river and the sound would put us to sleep at nights. No A/C but you don’t need it because the weather is so mild. We live in South Texas so we didn’t figure it would be that nice first of June.
